Following Apple’s brief comments on its Q2 2026 earnings call, the Kansas City Public Schools website detailed its plans to transition to an “all-Apple school district.” Here are the details:
Kansas City Public Schools becomes an “All-Apple District”
Last month, during Apple’s Q2 2026 earnings call, Apple CFO Kevan Parekh quickly stated that “Kansas City Public Schools…is transitioning high school students from Windows laptops and Chromebooks to MacBook Neos, completing the transition to an all-Apple school district.”
His comments came in the context of Apple’s Mac lineup.
Across the Mac lineup, customers are finding the right device to meet their needs. From the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air to the latest MacBook Neo, we offer an unprecedented combination of quality, value, and industry-leading security that are making waves in businesses and schools.
Now, Kansas City Public Schools has detailed what it means to become an Apple-only district.
The district will “replace more than 30,000 Windows PCs and Chromebooks with safer, more durable and more reliable Apple devices,” according to the district’s website.
It added, “More than 4,500 MacBook Neos will be procured for students in grades 8 and above, while younger students will have access to the district’s existing iPads and MacBook Airs.”
KCPS also said the move is part of a broader investment in “student technology that meets today’s needs and grows with tomorrow’s needs,” with KCPS Chief Technology Officer Scott Jones adding, “Students can be proud of their school because they now have the best product.”
The district’s comments come as Apple appears to be making some progress on MacBook Neo availability.
MacBook Neo shipment forecasts began to decline for several weeks after early demand quickly tightened Apple’s existing A18 Pro chip supply. Apple has since reportedly ordered a large number of A18 Pro chips from TSMC, and shipping forecasts have since started to improve, suggesting the company is starting to clear its backlog.
During Apple’s Q2 2026 earnings conference, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company was surprised by demand for the MacBook Neo.
As usual, he didn’t mention specific sales numbers, but reports indicate that Apple initially expected to ship around 6 million units of its new entry-level laptops, but is now planning to ship closer to 10 million units.
